LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION

When addressing disputes, we search for the most advantageous solution for our clients. We help our clients reach amicable settlement of disputes, which is usually most effective in terms of time and costs. If such solution is not possible, we represent clients in court proceedings in the Czech Republic. For foreign disputes, we provide our clients with legal representation through our collaborating colleagues abroad.

We also have extensive experience with arbitration proceedings, both with proceedings before the Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce of the Czech Republic and the Agrarian Chamber of the Czech Republic and with proceedings before arbitration courts at the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris (ICC), the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) and the Vienna International Arbitration Court (VIAC). We also provide representation in ad hoc arbitration proceedings, including proceedings under the UNCITRAL arbitration rules.

The most frequent disputes that we address as part of our practice are disputes arising from purchase contracts and contracts for work, industrial disputes, disputes related to unfair competition, disputes over the protection of industrial property rights and disputes over the protection of personality. We also have a wealth of working experience with specific online arbitration proceedings in disputes over domain names.
